Janet Jackson is obviously unwell. She’s sending messages by wearing thick scarves around her neck in all photos and videos. Why aren’t we getting it?

This week, Janet cancelled her entire European tour. Just two weeks ago she was posting videos, all smiles, very excited to appear in cities like Glasgow, etc. She certainly thought she was doing the tour.


Whatever’s wrong with her throat is unclear, and she has said she doesn’t have cancer. But there are plenty of other things that could be affecting her singing. And the scarves are clearly not just there for warmth.

Will she make the Las Vegas start date of her U.S. tour on May 14th? It’s still two months away, so we’ll send positive thoughts. But the strain of a tour may be too much for her. We’ll wait and see.
